Comparison of Energy and Exergy Analysis of Parabolic Fin Solar Still with Conventional Solar Still

Raja Ranadher Naike, V. / Hussain, Shaik / Kaviti, Ajay Kumar / Ram, Akkala Siva

Potable water is essential for different purposes for every living entity to live healthily on earth. This water is a critical need of every human for various applications such as drinking, cooking food, agriculture, and industrial purposes. In this experimental study, parabolic fin’s influence on the energy and exergy of basin still performance was obtained with three different water depths such as 1, 2, and 3 cm, compared with conventional still. Aluminum parabolic fin with 50-mm height and 30-mm diameter was fixed on the bottom basin liner. The experimental study was conducted in the climatic conditions of Hyderabad, Telangana, India (17.3850 °N, 78.486 °E). The calculated data shows that the energy efficiency obtained for the parabolic fin-assisted still are 65%, 56%, and 53%, respectively. The exergy efficiency obtained for the modified still was improved by 6.06%, 3.57%, and 3.07%, respectively, over conventional still for different depths of water. The cumulative water yield obtained from the parabolic fin-assisted still is 1250 ml, 1115 ml, and 1015 ml at the 1-cm, 2-cm, and 3-cm water depths. The 1-cm level of basin salt water gave the optimum energy and exergy values to other water depths for both parabolic fin still and conventional still.
